Great news this morning from the Washington Post, as rising junior 7-foot big man Assane Sene has committed to return to Virginia for the remainder of his college basketball career.
I think this is a very good thing for the team. Sene is well-liked and well-respected by his teammates, he's an energy guy, and the upside is definitely there. I personally think he played a great game against Duke on February 28th, grabbing ten rebounds and blocking two shots in 27 minutes on the floor. He played with energy that day, and was one of the few bright spots of that blowout loss.
If he can devote his offseason to adding strength, catching the basketball more cleanly, and fitting in more seamlessly with the pack line, he could be a valuable role player next season and in 2011-2012.
Other than Sylven Landesberg and Tristan Spurlock, Sene was the player most heavily rumored to be transferring this offseason.
